Congratulation for the success.
Some advice:
- don't lost your time and your ketone to make MDEA, it is as easy as MDMA (with Al/Hg), but the effects are really not so interesting
- For MDA, you don't need to use cyano, it is toxic and VERY expensive, just use NaBH4. see

(patrick: "No cyano needed", Methods Discourse)- For MDMA, make or get some methylamine. In Europe, I had no problem to order a 1kg quantity by Aldrich. The workup is easier and the yield are very nice, see

(patrick: "Simplified procedure", Methods Discourse)- For P2P, take a look at thread: "P2P / Hydratropic Acid " and "Hydratropic--->p2p Success!". The hydratopic aldehyde can be ordered at a reasonable price at every big chem supplier, like Aldrich, found under the name: "hydratopaldehyde", just control the CAS n°. You will also find this synthesis at Rhodium's web site and in "total synthesis". I will give a try soon.
For new synthesis, you can try a very easy one: You order 2CH freebase from Aldrich and you just brominate it to 2CB. You will find the workup at the Lycaeum web site.
Good Luck
